HOWTO for Neth 7 as AD PDC and file server with Ubuntu and Windows clients

I have made up a HOWTO based on the details from @fausp and others. I will edit this if there are fixes to be made. I am trying it out on multiple VMs to make sure I have all the steps documented correctly. PURPOSE: The purpose of this HOWTO is to show you how to set up remote home directories on a Nethserver network. The client machines used in this HOWTO are Ubuntu 16.04. Other versions or distributions may need some small changes. CREDITS: All of this comes from tips and steps from @…

Active directory dns confusion

I’ve got some confusion about the domain name and the dns configuration. It has to do with the fact that the domain controller sits on a separate virtual host. When I created the primary host, I named it “ads.company.net”. With activating the active directory controller I got automatically the virtual host “nsdc-ads.ad.company.net”. There is a mail server with an ip of the internal network. Now, should the reverse dns name be “mail.company.net” or “mail.ad.company.net”? This question concerns …

Thanks Ctek i’m working on it.
It must be Esxi garbage.
I gonna try to mount a new lab in one host (instead of 2).

To who it might interest, here the how to “Creating an isolated network between two virtual machines” in VmWare/Esxi host.

Hi @Remy,

did you set up promiscuous mode on your vmware vswitch?

The link you provided doesn’t work.

Hello MrMarkuz,
1.) Yep,
2.) Modified.

Well,
After deleting/re doing dozen of VM i quit with Esxi.
I donno why it didn’t work as it must do. Certainly a misconfiguration i wasn’t able to solve between my computers.

So i downgrading my lab and test NHS (> joke) with Virtualbox and my notebook and it works like a charm.

Aller, bon week-end !

Do you know - Proxmox - It may could be an alterative ?

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

After deleting/re doing dozen of VM i quit with Esxi.

I am glad you got it to work with virtualbox. Just wanted to say that I actually run ESXi 6.5 with virtual NethServer as gateway with AD and some other services/apps and it works quite stable so basically NS should work on ESXi.

[Remy]

I used Pmox and it works nicely but as i had a free VmWare licence and want to learn Esxi i put it on my ml10.

[Remy]

Yes i thinks so, i don’t know what i’m doing wrong (for now -> bloody network manager & cards).
